OMG I think my is ending too, I love her so much, how can she throw away all the good things? Since we stopped attending meetings she became angrier with me for simple things, or would just give me silence treatment lasting for couple days at a time. Really makes me wish we are still going to meetings just to be together. I don't know how to break it to kids but she is leaving.

Thank you FlyingHighNow, you nailed it. Nitpicker is a good word. I guess the only thing I want to find out in the end is if he is sincere or is he trying to replace watchtower and run my life for me in some way. I mean I'm just saying few things here but boy believe me there is whole lot more where that came from.

Thank you hillary_step, I hope you are right. But I’m tired of being told how wrong I am for doing this or that, you know. And this guy is full of that.

Ok here’s the thing. My English neighbor (arrived here from Essex, is there really such a place?) Always makes those comments about our kids, our car, and so on even made fun out of me when I told him we used to be witnesses. And when I ask him what he means he goes “nothing just a friendly observation” It is always a friendly observation and it is driving me crazy.
Then the other day I’ve heard him talking to my wife about how beautiful woman she is and it must be hard for her to look after kids and a husband who were taught to use women only as slaves. And woman being woman she of course enjoys attention and in the end I’m the one who feels like an ass. But then he and his wife came here the other day with cookies for kids, bottle of wine and flowers for my wife. We sat there for an hour chatting and then they unwind about their problem of how hard it is to find good friends these days, it is as if they had pretty ban run and I feel for them but then again I'm confused. I mean I really don’t know what to do or think, I’m tired of going into defensive every time but I can’t relax completely either. What would you do? How do you know if they are real frineds? After many years as part of watchtower society I'm afraid I'm just not equiped for this. I thought this would be eaiser but it isn't. How do you know if they are real frineds? I mean after all we are first neighbours. -

Love this topic. I don't know what to say about me. I was not born in it but have married someone who was. Reason I became witness? I guess because I wanted to feel something greater than myself, call it nuts if you want but that is what it was.

I gues I should tell my own story sometimes, but I do understand you. We also left about a year ago and I think the feeling of freedom you get when you start looking at the society from the outside, well its hard to find balance for one thing. So you run like a headless chicken hoping to catch up what you lost. I don't know my own marrieage is not brilliant at the moment so I better don't throw any advices.

Another Longtime Lurker
by liveforevermybutt inwell i finally decided to post.
i have been looking at this site for many years(4 or 5 i guess) but never really felt the need to post until now.to give a little background i was raised in a strict jw family.
my dad was an elder for most of my childhood, po for most of it) thankfully he fell away when i was 15 or 16. so there was no pressure from him to get baptised.

Men or Women Seeking a Relationship - What Qualities Do You Look For ?
by flipper inmany of us have had our ups and downs in relationships.
that being said, from what i've noticed people tend to put more effort and emphasis in picking a career or employment and being choosy about that - than putting the time into meeting and getting to know what kind of person they would like to have a relationship with.
so many people leave it up to random selection - not much thought - then they wonder down the road why they are getting burned !

Well I'm happy with my wife, but if I had a chance to do it all over again I would definitely stay away from anyone who was raised up as a Jehova Witness
